2021 employee tax assessment: Deadline 31 December 2026

03.11.2026 · Austria

If you have not yet applied for a voluntary employee tax assessment for 2021, you can generally do so until 31 December 2026.

First check whether a tax assessment notice for 2021 already exists. After an automatic assessment, you may still submit your own return within the five-year period. Different rules apply to changes to other completed proceedings.

A refund is not guaranteed. Deductible expenses and entitlements depend on the rules applicable in 2021.

Submit your application through FinanzOnline or form L1. Saving a draft does not count as submitting it.
